From the Author

In the Name of Real World Views
The Most Impartial of Thoughts, Feelings and Actions
May you be blessed by its Noble Truth and be Enlightened with Real “I Am”

This work can be rightly called the continuation of the
Gurdjieff work in my own way and from my own experience of life as a conscious reflecting
being. It is also a form of his continuation by other means. The work is therefore coated
with the Gurdjieffian paint from the beginning to the end. No thoughts can proceed without
negation of other thoughts, not to speak of such work as fourth way.

The aphoristic, semi-aphoristic, reflective, philosophical musing and
critical commentaries on the 'I's and 'it's of man and his social life is comprehensively
espoused here. The serious thinker is expected to know the materials of knowledge, to
understand them and to work towards his own being.

This work concentrates essentially on the study of man, his
'I's and
'it's, sound and music body, his seeing and responses and the invisible strings that
delude him. It investigates man's social life, his quest to be master of himself as well as
his three-brained neighbors and the trouble he has caused to society. It also comments on
some of the sociocosmic stopinders notably the oskiano stopinder (educational institution)
and distinguishes it from the esoteric school, the couple-stopinder (man-woman entity) and
the state organization. It briefly explores the soft communications or linkages amongst
these sociocosmic entities. The separation between the tritocosmic (man) and the
sociocosmic (organization) horse-drawn hackney carriages is recognized to be different.

The author is satirical and blunt in certain occasions over his
commentaries about everything existing, and welcome all constructive criticisms.
